Stated Purpose
"to help severely-wounded veterans and families of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn recover from their injuries and illnesses, and to inspire other organizations and the general public to participate in this effort."
Coalition to Support America's Heroes Foundation (CSAHF) educates the general public about the condition and needs of the country's wounded troops, veterans, and their families. The organization also provides donated items and direct financial aid to severely disabled veterans in need. The organization reports that it provides direct emergency aid to meet a range of day-to-day financial needs including utility bills, mortgage and rent payments, car payments and repairs, auto insurance, food and household supplies, home repairs, medical bills and co-payments. In addition, CSAHF's Heroes Thanking Heroes program helps wounded veterans and their caregivers earn income, obtain a marketable skill and become more independent.
Some ($3,073,405 or 12%) of CSAHF's program activities are carried out in conjunction with fund raising appeals.
